Hello everyone,
I was wondering what the best shade of blue is best to use instead of Maersk
Blue. Has anyone done this and how did it work for you? Thanks

LEGO themselves used Medium Azure in the last Maersk set:
 
Set No: 10241  Name: Maersk Line Triple-E
* 
10241-1 (Inv) Maersk Line Triple-E
1518 Parts, 2014
Sets: Sculptures

IMO Maersk Blue is much closer to Medium Blue. Medium Azure is closer to Sky
Blue.

It might be closer, but there is a sickly quality that medium azure is better
at replicating.

Medium Blue is a very attractive color IMHO. Miles better than Medium Azure
